Curieuse, you have outdone yourself,
knocking all my expectations off the perch. I couldn’t be happier to call this
paradise my home, the volunteers are my family and the staff my role models.
The typical day is inevitable, unforgettable and so rewarding, and to experience
all of this in our own backyard is something else. From wurtles to snurtles to
tweets, every single day I learn something new, and sometimes I get lucky and
remember it. But then there are some things that never change, I never imagined
food would remain such a priority on an island as stunning as this, nor a six
o’clock semi cold beer so irresistible. I’ve even begun to get a taste for
Seybrew.
Weekends are a luxury as we splash out on
hot showers and Wi-Fi…a time when it is acceptable to have an ice cream for
lunch, or more often than not, two. Weekdays are hard work, but quite satisfying
all the same. I think to work as hard as we do, and smell as rank as each
other, yet begin and end every day with a smile is the definition of a good
time. I wouldn’t change this expedition for the world.
Here, we live for the moment, a place to
find peace, to find one’s self, and to finally to be able to concentrate on the
essentials again.
